Bay Meadows affordable housing

This affordable, multi-family housing project in San Mateo will consist of an inner courtyard for the project’s residents. As part of the preliminary design studies, SHED completed a sun/shade analysis to determine the most sunny and shady areas of the courtyard, arranging seating in areas where residents will be comforted by winter sun and summer shade.

The on-podium conditions also will include a children’s play area which will include a net climbing structure suitable for all ages of children. The streetscape frontage of the project will include native and climate-appropriate plantings to conform to the city’s water use regulations.
